He mea kaumaha loa ia Laieikawai no ka make ana o kana kane, nolaila i kanikau ai oia hookahi anahulu me elua mau la keu (umikumamalua la), no ke aloha ia ia.
Iloko o keia mau la kanikau o Laieikawai, he mea haohao loa ia i kona mau hoa kuka, no ka mea, ua kauoha mua o Laieikawai mamua o ko laua iho ana i kai o Keaau.
"He umikumamakahi la e kali ai" kona mau hoa ia ia, a i "hoi ole aku" i na la i kauohaia e like me ka kakou kamailio ana ae nei ma ka Mokuna XXII, alaila, maopopo ua pono ole.
A no ka hala ana o ka manawa a Laieikawai i kauoha ai i kona mau hoa, nolaila, ala ae la na kaikuahine o Aiwohikupua i ke kakahiaka nui o ka umikumamalua o ka la iho aku la e ike i ka pono o ko lakou hoa.
A hiki lakou ma Keaau, ia lakou e kokoke aku ana e hiki, ike mua mai la o Laieikawai i kona mau hoa, paiauma mai la me ka uwe.
Aka, he mea haohao nae ia i kona mau hoa ka uwe ana, a ua akaka kana kauoha "ua pono ole, laua." Ma ka uwe ana a Laieikawai, a me na helehelena o ka poina; no ka mea, aia o Laieikawai e kukuli ana i ka honua, a o kekahi limu, ua pea ae la ma ke kua, a o kekahi lima, aia ma ka lae, a uwe helu aku la oia penei:
O oukou ia—e, auwe!
Eia wau la,
Ua haalulu kuu manawa,
Ua nei nakolo i ke aloha,
I ka hele o ke kane he hoa pili—e!
Ua hala—e.
Ua hala kuu lehua ala Kookoolau,
I ka nae kolopua,
Ulili nae o olopua,
Haihai pua o kuu manawa—e.
Ei—e.
Eia wau la ua haiki,
Ua kupu lia halia i ka mana—o—e,
Ke hoopaele mai nei i kuu manawa,
I ke aloha—la,
Auwe kuu ka—ne.
A lohe kona mau hoa i keia uwe a Laieikawai, uwe like ae la lakou a pau.
